1. Installation
---------------

 a) Windows
    - download and run installation file Poses_2.3_Setup.exe

 b) Linux (simulation server only)
    - download, unzip and untar Poses_2.3.tar.gz into a directory
    - start Poses++ daemon via "../Poses_2.3/bin/x86/Linux/Poses++ start" or
      integrate this start/stop script to /etc/rc.d and reboot

 c) Firewall
    - Poses++ components communicate via TCP/IP and UDP running locally or
      remote using the ports 1501..1503.

2. Examples
-----------

    After installing Poses++ you will find an "examples" directory with
    several examples for simple Poses++ simulation models. Every example is
    a subdirectory f.i. .../Poses_2.x/examples/airport where you will find a
    project file "project.ppp" which you can open as example project.
    All examples contain precompiled binary models which you can try to
    run without installing a C++ compiler first.

3. C++-Compiler
---------------

   To build your own Poses++ models you will need a C++-Compiler from
   the following list:

 c) Windows
    - Borland CBuilder 3,4,5,6
    - Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, Visual Studio 2003, 2005, 2008, 2010

 d) Linux
    - GNU gcc-2.8.x ... gcc-4.4.x
    - (in most cases one the list is part of your Linux installation)
